Raising Assessments The Soldiers at
Home - The Morning Advance.
Special to the Gazette,
WACO, TEX, June 13.-The County
Commissioners were in session to-day as
a board of equalization of assessments
for taxation. Their policy seems to be
to raise ell assessments, and as a result
there is considerable kicking. All the
railroads in the county were raised to g
uniform rate of $4,000 per mile each.
Heretofore the several roads have been
assessed as follows:
st. Louis, Arkansas and Texas, forty
miles.................- ..................S3 647
Texas Central, seven miles ................. SOL
Houston and Texas Central, twenty five
Gull, Colorado and santa Fe, thirty miles 1885
Missouri Pacific, forty two Miles. 6 $50
1t is expected the several roads will
enter vigorous protest against this
raise. The policy is not confined to the
railroads, however, for the commissioners
are going for nome people, in city and
country, with equal vigor. In some in
stances the assessments on business and
residence property have been raised to
double the figures at which rendered.
Telegraph and telephone lines were raised
from 500 to Sl6O per mile.
